Dear Isabel,

I was surprised and greatly saddened to see notice of Al’s passing.  I looked up his name because my barbershop chorus is coming to Lancaster to perform in a contest at the Marriott hotel and convention center.

I am so sorry to have missed a chance to speak with Al again.

Heather and I always enjoyed your cards and conversations.

With love and best wishes,

John (& Heather)
